Robbers Cave State Park

Robbers Cave State Park is located in the scenic, hilly woodlands of the San Bois Mountains of southeast Oklahoma. This park is a favorite of rappellers, equestrians, hikers and outdoor lovers. The park and adjoining wildlife management area, offers acres of discovery and enjoyment including trout fishing in season, boating, hunting, mountain biking, over 25 miles of trails for hikers and horses, sandstone cliffs for climbing and rappelling and fall foliage viewing.  In addition, Robbers Cave enjoys notoriety as a former hideout for outlaws Jesse James and Belle Starr.

Robbers Cave State Park is a 8,246-acre park with 189 combined lake acres with Lake Carlton, Lake Wayne Wallace and Coon Creek.  Take a horseback ride along scenic bluffs, enjoy excellent fishing opportunities for trout, perch, bass and catfish, or hike to the famous outlaw cave hidden in the formation of sandstone hills and cliffs that range from 300- to 1,500-ft in height. 

Robbers Cave State Park offers camping ranging from modern RV sites with hookups to primitive camping along secluded trails.  Equestrian campsites are available, as well as lodging at the 20-room Belle Starr View Lodge.  Every room of this lodge commands an impressive view of Coon Creek Lake and the forested valley below.  This state park also offers single cabins, duplex cabins and two group camp facilities.  An amphitheater is available, as well as five group picnic shelters.
